A hearty reception was accorded Edward
Harrigsn last evening at the Clunie Opera
House The play Old Lavender pre-
sents many amusing, as well as pathetic
scenes, each of which was effectively pre-
sented The play affords Mr.. Harrigan an
opportunity to present some of his best
bits of character acting. He impersonated
the pathetic picture of the generous heart
ed hero in the last act to perfection.
The play is full of interest, aside from
the merits of Mr.. Harrigan's performance.
The stage settings were appropriate and
the diversified performances, including the
Owl Club Social, the travelling minstrels
and the Jolly boatmen, all presented fine
entertainment, and afforded a large and Sc
lect company an opportunity to display
themselves in their best roles. The large
audience expressed itself satisfied by nu-
merous recalls and encores.
The musical productions of the evening
were fully in keeping with the excellent
rendering of "Old Lavender" Mr.. Dave
Braham deserves credit for having secured
a well-drilled orchestra, one which the pub
lie can fully appreciate.
This afternoon at the matinee odd Law
ender will be given, and tonight Cor
